Israel striking Lebanon to prevent 'large-scale' Hezbollah attack

Raw Story  

The Israeli military launched pre-emptive strikes in Lebanon on Sunday after detecting preparations for "large-scale" attacks by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.The military also warned Israelis to expect incoming missiles and drones launched by Hezbollah, with the government declaring a 48-hour state of emergency. The Middle East had been on edge for weeks after the group and its patron Iran vowed to respond to the Beirut strike, and to the assassination in Tehran of Hezbollah ally Hamas's political leader hours later.In a statement released shortly before 5:00 am, the Israeli military said its jets were striking targets in Lebanon "that posed an imminent threat" to Israelis." In a message addressed to the residents of southern Lebanon early Sunday morning, the Israeli military said: "We are monitoring Hezbollah's preparations to carry out large-scale attacks on Israeli territory near your homes. "Anyone who is near areas where Hezbollah operates should leave immediately to protect themselves and their families," the message posted on Telegram said.Hezbollah said in a statement that it had launched more than 320 Katyusha rockets towards Israel as part of its "initial response" to top commander's Fuad Shukr's killing last month. Fears that the deadly exchanges could escalate into a full-scale conflict in Lebanon have only grown since Hezbollah's chief said his group was "obliged to respond" to Israel "whatever the consequences" after the Beirut strike last month that killed its military commander Fuad Shukr.
